Hey guys,
I’ve been lurking for a LONGGG time. Finally mustered up the courage to post lol. I appreciate any guidance or direction that comes my way.
Okay, just got out of the military about a year ago and I’m going to school full time.
-15 years ago, I went to a community college, completed 31 credits and left with a 2.32 GPA. Completely unfocused, immature, etc.
-Fast forward present time, still immature (according to my wife) but now I’m super focused. I’m halfway done with the semester and have a 4.0 in all of my classes. I expect this trend to continue.
HOWEVER, based on GPA calculators, it looks like the best possible GPA I could attain with 4.0’s until I graduate is a 3.5 - (4.0s until I graduate will be tough, but you get the idea)
So here’s where I am looking for guidance - am I capped at a 3.5 because of my GPA from 15 years ago? Is there any other ways I could boost my GPA? I like to take things day by day, but also look to you guys for guidance so I can have a realistic game plan for the future. Once again, thanks for any guidance, it’s greatly appreciated.
